Therapy Musings
Yesterday I had physical therapy again. I really love the journey there, which follows the Bay for a while. I know, I know, I’ve written frequently that the color of the water changes often, defending on the season, weather, time of day, etc., but… Continue Reading “Therapy Musings”
Wibbly Wobbly
I’ve had two sessions this week with my occupational therapist to try to get more mobility in my injured hand. My sessions are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The route to the OT takes us past the Bay, which is very beautiful. The… Continue Reading “Wibbly Wobbly”
JJ’s Apartment (And Hannah’s Bedroom)
The plan was that JJ would drive to the house to pick up a few more of his possessions, and I would go with him so I could see his new apartment. Depending on timing and how man trips JJ made, either he would… Continue Reading “JJ’s Apartment (And Hannah’s Bedroom)”
Spring Fever
Last night I told EJ that if he would make sure the ducks and chickens had plenty of food and water when he shut them in the coop at night, I thought I could let them out in the mornings. EJ is always short… Continue Reading “Spring Fever”
Seasons
We had a bit of rain on Saturday night and strong winds through Sunday afternoon. We had just a bit of rain–not like the flooding rains that areas were getting in southern Michigan. It’s interesting living in a forest when the winds is strong.… Continue Reading “Seasons”
Weather, Propane, and Stuff
Sunny, Rain, Snow, Sunny, Rain, Snow. Warm, Cold, Warm, Cold. Melt, Freeze, Melt, Freeze. Our weather has been up and down and very changeable throughout January. We’ve had such warm temperatures that the snow melted and the chickens even came out of their coop… Continue Reading “Weather, Propane, and Stuff”
The Dragon Shawl
JJ has been battling a bad cold for about two weeks. It has been bad enough to make him feel bad, but not bad enough to prevent him from working, going to school, and hanging out with his girlfriend. I have finally succumbed to… Continue Reading “The Dragon Shawl”
#Meteor
Yesterday EJ and I were enjoying a quiet, peaceful evening at home. Luke was in EJ’s lap and Hannah was on mine. Suddenly, EJ pointed at the window and shouted, “Whoa! What is THAT?” I quickly looked out the window as Hannah leaped off… Continue Reading “#Meteor”
Magical Diamond Dust
The sunrise this morning was gorgeous. The skies were mostly blue all day and the sunlight made the ground sparkle, as if the snow had been replaced with diamond dust. It was absolutely magical and I truly felt as if I live in an… Continue Reading “Magical Diamond Dust”
The Joy of Hannah
We had some really cold days and nights here. EJ said that one morning our thermostat said -6. On that morning it wasn’t long before my face and hands starting hurt when I went out to do my morning chores. I tried to blow… Continue Reading “The Joy of Hannah”
Hannah Joy Learns Hebrew
Happy 2018! EJ and I didn’t stay up to see the old year turn into the new one. I think we went to bed at 10:30 or 11 pm. We becoming old geezers. Oh, well. As soon as I got out of bed this… Continue Reading “Hannah Joy Learns Hebrew”
Holiday Week
This week is zooming by. I wouldn’t have minded if it had slowed down a bit so we could savor EJ being home. It didn’t, and it’s already Friday. Wednesday EJ finally got his new eye glasses. He chose bolder glasses for the first… Continue Reading “Holiday Week”
Snowy Days
I hope everyone had a tremendous Christmas! After we moved to Northern Michigan, we started a new tradition of going to the theater to watch the latest Star Wars movie on Christmas day. We were all set to do it again this year, but… Continue Reading “Snowy Days”
Grandma’s Feather Bed (And Darth Luke)
I hope each of you have a restful, peaceful, and delightful Christmas Day! Last night when EJ and I got into bed, Hannah Joy jumped into bed between us. Ah, well, we let her. I’m not sure we could have prevented her, but we… Continue Reading “Grandma’s Feather Bed (And Darth Luke)”
Introducing Hannah Joy
Despite my greatest efforts, I was unable to resist temptation. I gave in. I failed miserably….well, to be honest, I actually failed joyfully. Yesterday our local animal shelter posted at Facebook that they would be open for adoptions from 9 a.m. to noon on… Continue Reading “Introducing Hannah Joy”
